“The Frozen North” is a 1922 American silent short comedy film directed by Buster Keaton and Edward F. Cline. The film is a parody of early Western films, particularly those of William S. Hart. Keaton plays a bumbling outlaw who arrives in a snowy frontier town and attempts to rob a saloon using a cardboard cutout of a gunman. His misadventures continue when he mistakenly believes his wife is cheating on him and shoots two strangers—only to realize he entered the wrong house. The film is known for its surreal humor, exaggerated melodrama, and inventive sight gags, including a sequence where Keaton manipulates a propeller-driven sled to evade pursuit.
